MADISON - Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have moved quickly to replace longtime Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson with Justice Patience Roggensack.
The move Wednesday came after results of a constitutional amendment removing seniority as the sole determinant of who is chief were certified and as a federal lawsuit seeking to delay implementation is pending.
Abrahamson's attorney Robert Peck says in a letter filed in a federal court that Abrahamson continues to believe she is still chief justice.
